After several years of not having a decent digital camera after somebody dropped my last one on the lens while it was extended, I finally bought a new one today during my trip to Costco.
I bought the Canon PowerShot ELPH 100HS to let me limp along until I can get a decent SLR. I thought I’d break it in by sharing some decent photos of some of my fish with you. The camera does a decent job, though it still struggles with small and fast animals like my Endler’s livebearers.

I’ll try to post pictures of these guys and my other fish now that I have a half-way decent camera.
